Me Time

Today,
I woke up feeling like
I needed some
Me Time
more than ever.
Honestly.
My
adult
children
are driving me
absolutely crazy.
I mean,
I love them
~
of course,
I do.
But right now?
I’m not even sure
I like them anymore.
There,
I said it. 🤷🏾♀️
It’s funny how
nobody really talks
about this part of life.
The part
where the kids you raised
grow up,
and instead of
finding peace and freedom,
you’re stuck
juggling their problems.
It’s exhausting.
Back when
they were little,
at least
I could send
them to their room
for a moment
of silence.
Now?
They don’t even
leave my house sometimes,
let alone
leave me alone.
Claiming My Peace
I’ve been thinking
a lot
about
the kind of life
I want
for myself
now.
God has blessed me
with so much
through the years,
and
I just want
to use
that to find peace.
I’m at a stage
where I want to live
my life
as contently as possible.
That means
setting boundaries,
taking breaks,
and claiming time
for myself.
Time to breathe.
Time to think.
Time
to simply
be
without feeling like
I’m on call
24/7.
I’m realizing
that this
isn’t selfish.
It’s necessary.
If I
don’t make time
for me,
then no one else will.
And the truth is,
pouring into myself
is the only way
I can show up
for the people I love.
I can’t keep
running on empty,
and
I won’t let myself.
My Projects:
Reina’s Search🔎
and
More
One thing
I’m focusing on right now
is my project,
It’s been
on my heart
for years,
and I’m finally
giving it
the attention it deserves.
I want to build
something meaningful
with it
~
something that brings me joy
and fulfillment.
Writing my books,
brainstorming ideas,
and
working on
…
It all feels like
a way
to take my life back.
To pour
into my passions
and
dreams
instead of
everyone else’s needs.
And let’s be real
~ I wouldn’t mind
finding a little time
to exercise,
eat right,
and maybe even
fall in love again.
That last one?
Eh, we’ll see.
But a girl can dream,
right?
Choosing Myself
So,
today,
I’m doing something
I don’t do often enough:
I’m choosing me.
I’m stepping back,
taking some time
to relax,
and letting my kids
figure out their own stuff
for once.
Mama is officially off-duty.
And if that makes me selfish?
Oh well.
I’m claiming
my peace today.
I’m putting my energy
into writing,
creating,
and
working on
I’m
making space
for
the things
I love
because
I deserve that.
And honestly?
So do you.
If you’re
feeling drained,
overextended,
or
just plain tired,
this is your sign
to step back
and
take your own
Me Time.
You don’t owe anyone
an explanation
for putting yourself first.
